			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>I&#8217;ll admit that I&#8217;m a bit of a hard-head and there&#8217;s a saying for that too, I&#8217;m sure many of you know.  I remember when I was 5 years old this was perhaps my first truly hard-head moment&#8230;</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.p3powerboost.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/DSC04520.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1555" src="http://www.p3powerboost.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/DSC04520-258x300.jpg" alt="" width="258" height="300" /></a></p>
<p><span>My mother told me that I could not go to my god-sister&#8217;s house that day.  At the time we lived in the same neighborhood only a few blocks down the street.  I decided that I was going to go anyway.  My twin sister pleaded for me not to go and I almost clearly remember saying, &#8220;I want to go so I&#8217;m going.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><em>It amazes me that this trait followed me into adulthood.  The point of it now is to decide if I want to change it.</em></p>
<p>So I took my adventure with my sister hesitantly trailing behind.  I didn&#8217;t think of getting caught by my godfather I just knew that I was stuck on doing exactly what I wanted.  My mother was furious and she asked me why did I do it after she told me I couldn&#8217;t go.  I said that I wanted to (kiss of death).  I couldn&#8217;t tell you what my punishment was, but I just remember a sense of liberation.  However, I didn&#8217;t even think about the danger of being kid wandering off alone.</p>
<p>There are many things about myself that haven&#8217;t changed since I was a kid.  I recognize it more now.  Like a lot mother-daughter relationships, I think I know more than my mom.  In the daughter perspective I want to make my own way and mistakes, but sometimes it&#8217;s simply unnecessary.  The idea of doing something impulsively seems cool and adventurous in the case of my childhood journey was just plain stupidity.</p>
<p>At the age of 24 3/4 (who&#8217;s counting) I&#8217;ve realized how much I&#8217;ve disregarded my mother&#8217;s advice.  I&#8217;ve set within myself to figure things out on my own.  It&#8217;s not always the best way and I may not admit the advice I received in the beginning was right all along.  Life would be a bit easier if I listen to someone who has been through it before.  It&#8217;s not hot air or mindless babble as I used to think, but assistance coming from someone who has my best interest at heart.</p>
<p><span>This post is perhaps the most appropriate for Mother&#8217;s Day and this epiphany is  recent and I feel it&#8217;s long over due.  I read this poem on Facebook more like a chain letter that could not have been more on point with mother-daughter relationships:</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left"><strong><em>At 3 yrs &#8220;Mommy, I love you.&#8221; </em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left"><strong><em> </em></strong><strong><em>At 10 yrs &#8220;Mom whatever.&#8221; </em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left"><strong><em>At 16 yrs &#8220;My Mom is so annoying.&#8221; </em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left"><strong><em>At 18 yrs &#8220;I wanna leave this house.&#8221; </em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left"><strong><em>At 25 yrs &#8220;Mom, you were right.&#8221;</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left"><strong><em> At 30 yrs &#8220;I wanna go to Mom&#8217;s house.&#8221; </em></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By: Angela Harper</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.p3powerboost.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Julie-Prim-edit.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1539 alignleft" title="Julie Prim edit" src="http://www.p3powerboost.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Julie-Prim-edit-224x300.jpg" alt="" width="224" height="300" /></a>Amongst the hodgepodges of clichés we’re told growing up on holds true for our P3 Jewel; “If you can do what you love for a living; it will never feel like working.” Julie Prim, a native of Dallas, TX, spent the first part of her collegiate career working on a degree in Government and Politics. She had the intent to become a politician, but had a change of heart and began to look for a new college and major. Her search landed her in North Carolina at NC State, “I packed up my stuff, put my dog in the car, and came to North Carolina.” Her genuine interest in helping others and her natural ability to be an objective listener prompted her shift from politics to psychology.</p>
<p>While pursuing her degree in psychology, Julie decided to start her own business. After a friend’s toddler recanted her Disney World trip and the joy of having breakfast with the Disney Princess she came up with the idea of, “<a href="http://www.myownprincessparty.com">A Fairy Tale Experience</a>;” a princess party for girls of all ages. “I didn’t have birthday parties growing up,” Julie tells me, “I believe every child should experience something special.” Without wasting anytime she put together her website, placed ads to find princesses, and ordered everything needed to create memorable birthday party experiences. “It was a small risk, but I felt that it was worth it.” May 2010 she launched, A Fairy Tale Experience, and it’s been a big hit since then! Clients get to choose a princess for their child&#8217;s party and enjoy up to 2 hours of fun and games!</p>
<p>“Of course I had to find the balance between living in the moment; doing what I’m passionate about and doing what I <em>have </em>to do. So I work a part-time job in commercial real-estate, attend school, and run my company.” Julie is a busy woman, but when you’re able to do what you love, it’s easier to achieve that balance. As I talked with Julie I could sense how eager she is to help others and bring happiness into the lives of other people. Balancing her job, school, and business has been a task, “Until parties are done I can’t relax!” Between all of Julie’s princesses there can be up to nine parties booked for one day. At start she was only servicing the Raleigh-Durham area, but now has expanded to Roxboro, Ft. Bragg, and Burlington.</p>
<p>With the expansion of A Fairy Tale Experience, Julie has been open to the requests of planning other types of parties aside from birthdays, “I like the leadership role and having an input on projects; being creative. People come to me with their ideas and I’m able to make something tangible out of their ideas. I have a positive impact on important moments in their lives.” She pays close attention to detail and has a warm personality that puts clients at ease; allowing them to express all their ideas! The parties that Julie and her princess have created for clients have been amazing, “The children are always excited to see a real princess at their birthday parties!”</p>
<p>Julie is just beginning her journey to building a company that brings the dreams of children and sometimes adults to life!  As young women it is important to begin the search now for what we are passionate about and finding a way to incorporate that into our lives and if possible our careers. Even if what we are passionate about doesn’t fit the status quo of what we’ve been taught to believe, we must take the risk and stand in our authentic truth.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>By Lisa Thomas</p>
<p><a href="http://www.p3powerboost.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/P3_Power_Boost_Cover_2011_04_2in.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1527" title="P3_Power_Boost_Cover_2011_04_2in" src="http://www.p3powerboost.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/P3_Power_Boost_Cover_2011_04_2in.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a>It was a spring like day when I sat down with Ester Nicholson. I found her particularly fascinating because of her big gentle spirit and heart. Somehow I knew I&#8217;d discover more pearls of wisdom within Ester than I could imagine so I was thrilled to hear her story.</p>
<p>And I was right. Ester has graced the stage with many icons, like Rod Stewart, Bette Midler, Beyonce and others. She’s appeared on Oprah, Ellen Degeneres, The View, and The Tonight Show.</p>
<p>She’s no stranger to the music world. She comes from a family of songbirds. Her brothers and sisters have sang with great gospel legends, like Swan Silvertones ,  Highway QC and Shirley Ceaser.</p>
<p>Ester was born singing.  She even spoke of singing as the “trees” listened as her audience when she just a little girl.  Music is in her soul and it has taken her many places.<br />
However, I wouldn’t say Ester’s life has always been an easy one though. She accounts her days as a drug user and the addiction of that.</p>
<p>She speaks of Domestic Violence and losing her ability to sing after not singing for a very long time. I love what she describes about her past. She shares how her past was necessary. It was the preparation she needed to open her mind and heart to see a higher and greater purpose for her life.  Wow! How wonderful it is to see your greatness and how it developed from past experiences.</p>
<p>You’ll hear her describe the very day things took a turn that led her to 25 years of sobriety. She offers an understanding of how “being ready” to align “yourself” with the universe brings about unimaginable results.</p>
<p>She has accomplished a lot and experienced most dream of, yet her journey continues.</p>
<p>Ester has transformed from being a recording artist and performer into the larger purpose for which she was born &#8211; to offer practical steps to wholeness regardless of what your experience has been. She travels across the country facilitating workshops, speaking and creating inspirational music.</p>
<p>I can’t think of a better voice for freedom than Ester Nicholson. Sit back and enjoy my girl talk with her. Bring a pen and pad. You’ll find valuable gems for life in her story!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ester Nicholson            http://esternicholson.com</p>
<p>Ester Nicholson is a licensed spiritual practitioner and inspirational recording artist who brings her personal experience of 24 years of sobriety coupled with a committed practice of spiritual principle to audiences around the globe  &#8211; with riveting keynotes, soul nurturing music, transformative workshops and heart connecting retreats.</p>
<div id="attachment_1548" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.p3powerboost.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Ester-and-Rod-Stewart.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1548" title="Ester and Rod Stewart" src="http://www.p3powerboost.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Ester-and-Rod-Stewart-300x147.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="147" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Ester performs with Rod Stewart</p></div>
<p>For the past 17 years, she has studied under Michael Beckwith, founder of Agape International and featured teacher of The Secret.  Ester has also been a licensed member of the Agape International Spiritual Practitioner Core for 11 years.  A gifted vocal artist, she has completed two world tours with Rod Stewart, Bette Midler and many others &#8211; in addition to appearing on such television shows as Oprah, The Tonight Show, The View, Good Morning America and the Ellen DeGeneres Show.</p>
<p>“Our community was so immensely moved by her performance that we continue to be asked about her return.  Ms. Nicholson has displayed a high degree of integrity, purpose, and faith. In addition to her excellent musical accomplishments, she has proven her ability to inspire people and reach out to the audience through her motivational talks and personal experience.  Ms. Nicholson would be a positive element to any event, and I am happy to give her my wholehearted endorsement.” &#8211; Bonnie Kleissle, MPH, CCPA, Administrative Director Blessing Hospital Cancer Program, Quincy, IL</p>
<p>Ester is currently facilitating workshops on Forgiveness, incorporating principles from Colin Tipping&#8217;s Radical Forgiveness and 12 Steps of Recovery, sourced from Prosperity teachers such as Eric Butterworth, John Randolph Price and Abraham. As a teacher, she illustrates through her own personal struggle &#8211; and ultimate transcendence &#8211; over erroneous beliefs in lack and limitation.  Nicholson shares, “It has become very clear to me that a false sense of identity and the ignorance of our true nature are the only true blockage to our good.  The more those false beliefs are dissolved through an unwavering commitment to ‘know the truth that sets us free,’ the more we break through the hypnotic suggestion of lack and finally experience the glory and magnificence of the universe.”</p>
<p>Ester&#8217;s personal struggles as a teenage mother, substance abuser, food addict, victim of domestic violence and her ultimate triumph over these adversities, place her in a unique and powerful position to relate to and inspire teens, youth and adult groups from all walks of life.</p>
<p>Whether she&#8217;s speaking and sharing her music with churches, The United Way, The Cincinnati Metropolitan Housing Authority or helping teens at a Catholic School in Yuma, Ester provides high-value tools and technologies touching hearts and minds with her deep commitment to making a significant contribution to the world.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND DRUG ADDICTION<br />
By Ester Nicholson</p>
<p>Drug addiction was one of many addictions.  My first addiction was love.  No matter what the cost, if my attention fixated on one particular man, I would do anything to make him love me.  I look back now, and can’t believe the crap I accepted from the men in my life, thinking, hoping, praying, wishing that they loved me.  More importantly, I have compassion for myself with the understanding that at that time, I didn’t love me, or think that I was worthy of love.  The men in my life mirrored back to me exactly the way I felt about myself.  They showed up as my angels clothed in the form of my deepest wounds.</p>
<p>Excerpt from soon to be released “She Lives” This wasn’t the first time Mark put his hands on me in a violent way.  I’ll never forget when he spent the night at my house verbally and physically abusing me.  He tried to ram my head into a concrete wall.  I was able to escape his grasp and run down the street to the telephone booth to call the police.  I ran past a few guys coming outside of a store, and I said to them “please help me, my boyfriend is beating me up”, and one of the guys looked at me and said, “a man has a right to do what he wants with is woman”.  Even then, I couldn’t believe it.   I made it to the telephone booth and dialed 911, but Mark came up behind me and slammed the phone down before I could talk to the dispatcher.  I fought him off and picked up the phone and dialed again.  He slammed the phone down again.  So, I gave up.  He took me by the hand to lead me back to my apartment, but before we got there, five police cars surrounded us.  They had traced the call I had tried to make.  They jumped out of their cars and asked if I was the one who made the call.  I told them yes, and that I was having a problem with my boyfriend.  This one police woman looked me straight in the eye and said “did he hit you”?  Mark looked like a deer in headlights.  He was scared shitless.  I averted my eyes from the policewoman, and said, “No, he did not hit me”. So, I would go and get high, blow all my money and then sleep with a stranger for drugs.  I would tell myself it served him right for being such a jerk, but of course, the real reason was, it paid for my drugs when I was out of money.  But I was also trying to make myself feel better about being so powerless and out of control.  I was hurting so badly, and felt so rejected and abandoned, I thought if I slept with someone else, even though drugs was one of the payoffs, it would somehow hurt this man that held my distorted attention in every waking moment, and who one minute gave me his heart, and the next, would leave me, abandoned, beaten and broken again.</p>
<p>Domestic violence was a huge part of my life growing up.  The way things were handled in my family, in particular with my siblings, were with violence.  I saw family members with black eyes and bloody noses one day, and cuddled up with the spouse that did it the next. I thought this was love.  I thought this was how it was done in relationships.  I thought the way you responded to a disagreement was with rage, screaming and hitting.  So, I lived that pattern out in my own life.  I attracted men in my life, where we were perfect mirrors for each other’s sorrow, rage and ignorance.</p>
<p>Healing is possible.  It’s a long road from such a depth of low self-worth to self-love, and there are days when you might feel like you can never have anything better, because the scars are so deep, and the patterns are so etched in your consciousness.  You might feel like giving up, but don’t. Keep on growing, keep going, you’ll make it.  In quoting another amazing woman, Hillary Clinton in her 2008 democratic speech, she says “By following the example of a brave New Yorker , a woman who risked her life to shepherd slaves along the Underground Railroad.   And on that path to freedom, Harriett Tubman had one piece of advice.  If you hear the dogs, keep going.  If you see the torches in the woods, keep going.  If they&#8217;re shouting after you, keep going.  Don&#8217;t ever stop. Keep going. If you want a taste of freedom, keep going.”</p>
<p>So, I say to you, no matter what anyone tries to tell you, or what your own habitual negative thinking is telling you, you are worthy, you are deserving of an amazing, loving, healthy life.  The road will seem dark and endless, but your life is right down that road.  Don’t give up on yourself before the miracle happens.  You’re worth it. I’ll be your testimony, until you can be your own.</p>
<p>Peace to you beloved,</p>
<p>Ester</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mother Nature certainly likes her routine. Global warming aside, she cycles through the same processes, in the same order, doing things the same way they always have been done.</p>
<p>Within that cycle, of course, variations exist—a dry winter or a mild fall—but we always can rely on the rhythm. One season follows the other. It’s a comfortable predictability in a world that often seems to be wildly unpredictable.</p>
<p>Luckily, it is possible to tap into that natural cycle, to bring into both our personal and professional lives a greater sense of flow and order.</p>
<p>It’s time for one of my favorite seasons. Is spring one of yours? In spring, everything is glistening, green and new. There is a feeling of expansion and a sense of renewal and reawakening. Seeds start to grow. People get outside more, becoming reacquainted with their gardens. We take on spring-cleaning projects and clear out clutter.</p>
<p>Have you considered how this season of new beginnings will impact you? Are you ready to reap what you sow? Here are some ideas to consider for both your personal and professional growth.</p>
<p>A few personal activities that align with spring:</p>
<p>What have you always longed to do? Perhaps you want to write a book or teach a class or foster a child. Let this be the year you take action on your dream! Find out what is keeping you from moving forward. Allow the rebirth of spring to inspire you to achieve your dreams and passions!</p>
<p>Is this the time to start developing a healthier lifestyle? We see our neighbors out walking dogs, jogging down the sidewalk or even playing an adult softball game. Challenge yourself to move from inspiration to action! Best of all, you’ll be able to leverage your new, invigorated burst of energy as you work toward meeting your other goals.</p>
<p>Notice, as well, if the seeds you’ve already planted are starting to sprout. Tend to them carefully, giving them ample time to grow. Perhaps this is a personal relationship. Have you noticed a positive change? Remember, it doesn’t have to be the BIG one. Are you curious about where this could lead? Take a risk and see where it takes you!</p>
<p>As a parent we are always looking for those sprouts of change. Celebrate the opportunity to cultivate the crops of our future! Recently I attended a Broadway History Class with my dramatic daughter and a Bible study class with my very intuitive daughter. You can imagine the conversation that followed each session! However, you can have unexpected quality time during a ride home from a practice, at the dinner table or even when you are planting a garden together. Spring is a perfect season for exploring these opportunities.</p>
<p>A few professional activities that align with spring:</p>
<p>Plant your own seeds by designing one or two new products or services for your organization. It’s a gift to allow you to dream. Always imagine how your success will look and feel. We often miss our own successes. What may seem crazy in the beginning could be the start of a really positive idea. So, give yourself lots of time for brainstorming and collaboration before honing your ideas. Sometimes it even helps to conceive the idea, walk away from it, and then edit your creation. Fine-tuning is the key!</p>
<p>When you’re ready, create a detailed launch plan with action steps and a timeline. Have you ever seen a brilliant idea die because the implementation seemed overwhelming? As we coaches suggest, break it down into manageable parts. Maybe even “storyboard” the process using simple post-its to organize (and re-organize) your tasks and timelines. However, as a special mentor of mine always reminded me, you eventually you have to “shoot.” You simply can’t wait for the ultimate perfection.</p>
<p>By tailoring some of what you do to the natural rhythms that allow, sustain and renew all life on earth, you might just find that your life and work are likewise supported, as they deepen, grow and prosper.</p>
<p>Ask yourself what other seeds you would like to sow—and what others already are starting to sprout. I encourage you to post your stories on the P3 Power Blast blog. You may be the one to plant the right seed and harvest an opportunity for another powerful, passionate and purposeful woman!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;ve been following my column you have a pretty good idea of how I feel about not measuring up to other people my age.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.p3powerboost.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/46414_10150240559365232_819875231_14660894_6053645_n.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1453" src="http://www.p3powerboost.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/46414_10150240559365232_819875231_14660894_6053645_n-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>Maybe, you didn&#8217;t catch on to it, but I have a problem with comparing myself to other people.  Recently, I was questioned about my greatness.  No,  really someone asked me, &#8220;What makes you <em>so</em> great?&#8221;  It was thrown in my face that my bank account wasn&#8217;t plentiful and that i didn&#8217;t have some impressive career.   If this had been a year or even a few months ago I would&#8217;ve been in tears.  All I could think was, &#8216;Is this person seriously asking me this?&#8217;  I was also deemed an &#8220;wannabe&#8221; writer.</p>
<p>You know something?  I laughed.  I can perform a Google search on my <a href="www.wilderinreallife.com">blog</a> and it shows up.  If you type in my name you&#8217;ll find articles.   I have the privilege of sharing my life lessons and experiences with you all every month with open arms from the editorial staff.  No, I&#8217;m not at some major nationally circulated print publication.  I&#8217;m perfectly happy where I am with my writing.  I can do exactly what and when I want.  If I feel the urge to pitch stories around the city then I do it.  Don&#8217;t get me wrong it&#8217;s great to be connected with fellow writers in &#8220;higher&#8221; places.  Right now, if someone cannot connect me to a publisher owner chances are I won&#8217;t land a job.   It&#8217;s a game of nepotism and more than who you know, it&#8217;s what&#8217;s their rank?  I&#8217;m not in college anymore hoping to get to talk to an editor who usually gave me advice and never spoke to them again.  Then I needed it and to this day I truly appreciated it because I&#8217;ve learned that I must make my own way.</p>
<p>As for my bank account?  Money never has or never will make me.</p>
<p>My professional career?  I do a variety of jobs to make it and works.  Writing is something that I do that makes me feel good, but it isn&#8217;t who I am.</p>
<p>So what is it that makes Lauren Wilder aka Wilder in Real Life so great?   I could sit here and market myself to you, but if you have to ask go ahead and shoot me an email.  No, seriously.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s taken me a long time to get to the point where I can say, &#8220;I love you, Lauren, with all my heart.&#8221;  Since I&#8217;ve gotten here I can let things roll off more of course I get upset and disappointed.  Then I have to remind myself others don&#8217;t define me, I do.  I&#8217;m sharing this with you all as not a tangent, an epiphany, or some ego trip.  I&#8217;m sharing this because if you&#8217;re not to the point where you don&#8217;t let the material things, career, and aesthetics define you&#8230;then something is coming to shake everything.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a poem called &#8220;Ego Tripping (there may be a reason why&#8221; by Nikki Giovanni;  I try to remain humble, but man does this poem make me smile.<br />
I was born in the congo<br />
I walked to the fertile crescent and built<br />
the sphinx<br />
I designed a pyramid so tough that a star<br />
that only glows every one hundred years falls<br />
into the center giving divine perfect light<br />
I am bad</p>
<p>I sat on the throne<br />
drinking nectar with allah<br />
I got hot and sent an ice age to europe<br />
to cool my thirst<br />
My oldest daughter is nefertiti<br />
the tears from my birth pains<br />
created the nile<br />
I am a beautiful woman</p>
<p>I gazed on the forest and burned<br />
out the sahara desert<br />
with a packet of goat&#8217;s meat<br />
and a change of clothes<br />
I crossed it in two hours<br />
I am a gazelle so swift<br />
so swift you can&#8217;t catch me</p>
<p>For a birthday present when he was three<br />
I gave my son hannibal an elephant<br />
He gave me rome for mother&#8217;s day<br />
My strength flows ever on</p>
<p>My son noah built new/ark and<br />
I stood proudly at the helm<br />
as we sailed on a soft summer day<br />
I turned myself into myself and was<br />
jesus<br />
men intone my loving name<br />
All praises All praises<br />
I am the one who would save</p>
<p>I sowed diamonds in my back yard<br />
My bowels deliver uranium<br />
the filings from my fingernails are<br />
semi-precious jewels<br />
On a trip north<br />
I caught a cold and blew<br />
My nose giving oil to the arab world<br />
I am so hip even my errors are correct<br />
I sailed west to reach east and had to round off<br />
the earth as I went<br />
The hair from my head thinned and gold was laid<br />
across three continents</p>
<p>I am so perfect so divine so ethereal so surreal<br />
I cannot be comprehended except by my permission</p>
<p>I mean&#8230;I&#8230;can fly<br />
like a bird in the sky&#8230;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>What&#8217;s <a href="www.wilderinreallife.com">Wilder</a> up to?</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By: Angela Harper</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Walk the halls of elementary school and you’ll lose count of how many times a teacher says, “No pushing!” Nobody likes to be pushed; it’s not a good feeling. Throughout this journey of life we hit road blocks and other unpredictable obstacles. Some of us have the ability to be transparent about our setbacks and can easily express those feelings. Others of us are the opposite. We don’t open up to express the feelings or even share our stories about things we’ve experienced; or so it seems.</p>
<p>I am one of those people and I happen to know people who are like me. To outsiders we’re cold, closed off,  and emotionally distant. What they don’t know is that we are the exact opposite; it’s just we are selective about who we open up to, when we do it, where we do it, and how we do it. Yet, we are constantly being pushed to open up! Others want us to talk to them and confide in them. They want us to have these emotional breakdown moments or purge ourselves. Push. Push. Push. STOP!</p>
<p>Chances are when you push you will be pushed back. People like me push back by closing up. The more others nag us to open up to them, the more we retreat into ourselves or ignore the nagging. Either way we’re not going to open up to the person pushing us. Oh, you want to know how to get us to open up? The answer is simply this: stop pushing.</p>
<p>Were you expecting something more profound? It truly is that simple. Ask us our opinion of something; chances are we’ll come full circle and relate it to us. Don’t put us in the spotlight or catch us off guards. Don’t nag, don’t pry, don’t push; instead sit beside us and be quiet…we’ll talk.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>By Lisa Thomas,</p>
<p>Hurry up already, What’s taking so long?!?</p>
<p>When I&#8217;m standing in a room full of professional  and business women  speaking on this subject, I often say, &#8221; you know&#8230;.. &#8220;patience&#8221;  &#8230;..my fellow leaders,      really is a virtue!!!&#8221;</p>
<p>Read on!</p>
<p>I’d gotten a live pot of tulips for mother’s day last year and they were absolutely gorgeous.  Because I love plants and seeing their growth, I was excited that I would have a chance to experience tulips for a bit longer than just this one time.  So I watched them grow taller and taller week by week.</p>
<p>One day I decided it was time to re- pot their beauty so they could grow even larger. Soon after being transferred the tulips slowly wilted and died…no more beautiful tulips! <img src='http://www.p3powerboost.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>But for me there was hope. <img src='http://www.p3powerboost.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Having a green thumb, I thought no problem, I’ll just see what happens if I water the soil for a while. Surely tulips will reappear again. Now, I knew nothing about tulips, but I did know that if I water a soiled seed; in this case a bulb, something would soon grow.</p>
<p>So I began watering the soil as I did my other plants, watching every month or so to see if something would reappear. I’d longed to see the multicolored tulips like before, but after several months I saw nothing.  In fact, one day it looked like the dirt was turning a moldy gray color.</p>
<p>Would I ever see the tulips?</p>
<p>I began to worry after about 7 months. Had I killed it by moving and disturbing the soil too soon? Had I over watered it? I was plagued with thoughts of how I must’ve done something wrong!</p>
<p>I should’ve seen something by now.  My other plants had grown so much since this one entered the family.  But in spite of my worries, I chalked it all up and still watered the soil.</p>
<p>Another month passed and nothing.  Frustration had now begun to set in. I mean all this work and no plant, just moldy dirt. I couldn’t take it anymore so I finally went to the store and bought a small tiny plant that I admired and place it on top of the soil. I had to have something to deal with my mind about this watered soil not producing my beautiful flowers when“I” had expected.</p>
<p>Sometimes we’re like that about other things in life, right?  We get impatient with ourselves and others because we don’t see the results we’ve been longing for “when” we want them.  In fact, in some cases we stop dead in our tracks, because we’re working real hard or so we think and there’s no harvest that we can physically see.  It doesn’t come fast enough so we quit. Little do we know the harvest is about to take shape. It is germinating, finding it’s way to the universe; the physical world for all to see.  Rather than wait, we “kill it” right there at that critical point when things are about to break through.</p>
<p>I deliberately put the small plant on top of the soil I’d been watering to trick and train my mind into thinking my works were not in vain.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.p3powerboost.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Yes-I-see-tulips.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1456" title="Yes, I see tulips!" src="http://www.p3powerboost.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Yes-I-see-tulips-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>After a month of training my brain,  I removed the small plant and there I saw something peek through the soil. It was the beginning of life; it had forced it’s way to the surface.  It took 9 months of constant watering, nurturing and caring for the soil to see something come through &#8211; 9 months!!!!…Sort of like birth. It takes 9 months to birth a child. The baby is conceived which we cannot physically see but the process and system of creating life is happening. It&#8217;s happening  &#8220;inside the mother&#8221; so that life can emerge fully equipped for the world after the 9 month period has passed.</p>
<p>How many times have you started to venture into something new and just before things pop, you get mad and quit?</p>
<p>Many of my clients who are successful business women and executives find themselves in this predicament time and time again. There’s something they want to achieve but have never done, and they want it so bad they can taste it. The problem lies in wanting it right now or on their time line. But sometimes a big harvest doesn’t come right away.</p>
<p>The system and time line for growth is an unknown factor, yet they operate like they know how long it takes.</p>
<p>Most of the time, we under estimate the manifestation time line and we lose faith in our abilities to produce. Small milestones are necessary to trick the brain into “knowing” you can and will produce.  Les Brown once said, “we don’t truly know our potential because we aim too low and make it rather than aim too high and miss”. I believe you should and can aim high, however set milestones that help you see the results.  Let’s face it the world wants results and so do you. Set yourself up to win.</p>
<p>I didn’t know a lot about tulips, but I knew that a watered seed in the right soil that&#8217;s cared for in a systematic way would produce a harvest. I also knew that depending on the plant, the time line could be a month or several months to fully come into physical existence.</p>
<p>If you ever find yourself wanting to give up and give in, wait a while and stay the course. Nurture your soul as I did by training your brain that there are results being produced.  Give yourself a break and acknowledge things are just delayed by your time line but not by the time line of growth.  After all, with a big goal, you aren’t always certain how long it really takes anyway, but you do know consistency produces. Enjoy the journey and watch the riches of life manifest!!!</p>
